It is during the 9th apparition of Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette, on Thursday, the 25th of February 1858 that the Lady says: "Go drink to the fountain and wash" and added "You shall drink of the water of the spring, wash in it and eat the herb that grew there". Bernadette digs a hole in the grass, at the place she was standing. The source will spring out from this hole. The springs kept producing water from the day when Blessed Virgin Mary pointed to Saint Bernadette.
